A 30-year-old woman shot and killed her girlfriend before fatally turning the gun on herself at the couple's east Houston home Tuesday night, police said.

The began at the couple's home in the 8700 block of Wiggins Street at 5:43 p.m. when a 23-year-old woman living inside of the home called 911, to report an argument with her live-in partner, said Houston Police Department Sgt. Robert Blain.

As police were on their way to the Pleasantville home, the caller was shot by the partner, who then killed herself with the same weapon.

Blain declined to discuss details of the 911 call and did not disclose the two women's identities.
